Annapurna Himalayan Panorama/ Poonhill Trek
- Destination: Nepal
- Duration: 16 Days
- Trip Grade: Strenuous
- Min person: 2
About Trip:
“This is adventure through diverse picturesque scenery, from paddy terraces to the high alpine terrain, with constant views of the world’s highest mountain range including Annapurna, Manaslu and Dhaulagiri. We hike through serene verdant forest of rhododendrons, charming villages full of life and the ancient Trans-Himalayan Trade route”.
This truly inspiring adventure passes through a more diverse range of climate, vegetation and cultures than any place in the entire Himalayan world, from the lush verdant green vegetation of rain and temperate forests to the terraced rice fields and to the alpine zone, making this trip more tantalizing with an introduction to Nepal’s cultural and natural beauty.
The Journey to Annapurna begins from Pokhara, a scenic spot & famous for its lakes. The trail leads towards dense forest of rhododendrons and magnolia passing through rain forest and a gorge between massive green hillocks that give us great views of our surroundings.
Once at the top of Pun Hill near Ghorepani you will be in the midst of an amphitheater of snow peaks that include Annapurna (26,545ft-8,091m) & other major peaks overlooking the Annapurna south (23,693ft-7,219m), Gangapurna (24,457ft.-7,455m) and Annapurna Dhaulagiri massif mountain range and as far towards east to Mt. Manaslu.
The blissful journey concludes in the City of Lakes…Pokhara…that’s ideal for chilling out after completing our trip.
